Wrap & Turn
[used when working short rows]

To wrap and turn on a RS row, knit
to point specified in pattern, bring yarn to
front of work between needles, slip next stitch
to right-hand needle, bring yarn around this
stitch to back of work, slip stitch back to
left-hand needle, turn work to begin purling
back in the other direction.

Working Wraps Together with Wrapped
Stitches:
When working rows which follow short rows,
work the "wraps" at the turning points
of the short rows, together with the stitches
they wrap, as follows:

When working a RS row: Knit to wrapped
stitch. Slip next stitch from left needle to
right needle, use tip of left needle to pick
up "wrap" and place it on right needle,
insert left needle into both wrap and stitch,
and knit them together.

When working a WS row: Purl to wrapped
stitch. Slip next stitch from left needle to
right needle, use tip of left needle to pick
up "wrap" and place it on right needle,
slip both wrap and stitch back to left needle,
purl together through back loops.
